Flanno's New Signings

[Draginzaaar]

Deathriding lol

I’m simply offering a point of view as to how I see recruitment is unfolding at this point in time.

I believe the Flanagan appointment was a stitch up with concessions going backwards and forwards between coach and club and I have seen nothing to change that opinion.

You might not agree and that’s fine but I am neither encouraging or discouraging what is happening in any games thus far nor have I criticised either club, coach or players this season so how you come up with your assertion I’m death riding the club is somewhat mystifying.

I thought you were gone? Go away again please.

Nu Brown was a good backup for the Sharks in 2016

*keywords - backup and 2016

hey, the flange is getting the team back together....what with Bird and whoever else. Gal's second cousin?

Ricky Leutele is still going around in the super league at age 34, might be a potential replacement on the wing for Lomax?

I can hardly contain my excitement at the signing of Old Brown.
Flanno has said he’d be patient & wait for the right quality player. Wow!

love these keyboard recruitment heroes who coulda signed Harry Grant midseason - FMD

I can take your post in three ways Coffs - one that you are being sarcastic and the others are that you are actually doing cartwheels in your living room or maybe needing to change your clothing with all the ecstatic emotions you have channeled down to that part of the body which you could not contain!!

I do hope that it is not sarcasm and that your excitement is that you are thrilled with this signing and feel that Nu Brown will help us a great deal in winning lots of games.

 

[baggygreen man]

great with ball in hand but kicking game hindering the side.

Dont you have that topsy turvy dp, good kicker , ball in hand hindering the side. Flanagan needs to get his hands on the ball more.

 

[baggygreen man]

one that you are being sarcastic

Definitely sarco DD. But hey Flanagan worked with him at Cronulla so he just had to bring him here once he was done in Super League to build his ex sharkies roster..

 

[baggygreen man]

With Brown coming, Flanagan has put a pencil thru the older Finau brother playing top grade. How he promoted Mulheisen ahead of him, is any ones guess while Marschke has been capable. Both Finaus are better than Ressie standard imho.

 

[Wolfgang90]

Nu Brown is an improvement on marschke, even though we haven't seen much of marschke at 1st grade level. At worst it gives us a similar level of depth. Both were late additions to the squad, so I doubt either will be with our team post this season.

I'd recommend checking out Nu's instagram as he has some good social media content. Hopefully another way to see dragons content.

 

[Wolfgang90]

It's a shame we don't have as many objective posters like you regularly contributing at the moment, OT.

I will continue to call things as I see them and im sure in the long run people will start to agree.

Others may not, but those same people could watch the current coach do a giant dump in the buffet at the leagues club and would like up with a spoon ready to eat what they think is chocolate ice cream!

fkn lolz, there's been some quality jokes lately.

 

[baggygreen man]

Footage I have seen of Brown was at the Dogs four years ago. Looked sharp in attack, how is his defense as will need to be a strong tackler at dummy half. Why did the Dogs, Tigers and his SL team let him go if he is so good. Lacks consistency perhaps. When did he last play international footy.

 

[baggygreen man]

We have a few trolls on this forum. This is a discussion platform where we all should feel free to put forward our opinions without someone trashing those opinions. Debate yes, banter yes, but cut the trolling guys.

He was 14 for NZ when they destroyed Australia 30-0 in the final 5 months ago

Yep. And he scored a try against Australia in the previous match in that series. It's a good signing. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the 17 this week. Liddle will need a rest against this mob

 

[Victoire]

I remember the last time we made a mid-season signing of a current NZ international hooker/utility who'd just won world cup and sought a release from his club. That dude was 30 years old at the time. Turned out alright

 

[FlickFlano]

Moley has made a comment about the Lomax thing. Spot on too.
If the Dragons wanted to keep lomax they would have - simple as that.
There is absolutely a reason that he is not part of our plans for the future.

I'm pretty sure if Lomax hadn't asked for a release then the club wouldn't have explored its options, he still had 2.5 seasons to run on his contract.

 

[FlickFlano]

Interesting one now is his mate Lawrie who is also under contract until 2026.
Same flog attitude in that fletch/hindy thing .. been hooked the last two weeks as well during games.

Haele Finau is fast out of dummy half. But he needs to improve his defence. Let's hope he does.

Muhlheissen defends better than Finau.

Marschke is a tough competitor, who can hold his own in the middle. But he doesn't have great service out of dummy half. Not his fault because he's a 6.
